I actually learned how to use vi like 30 years ago and I had all the commands memorized. Then, nano came along. All the commands are at the bottom of the screen to remind you. It was just too tempting to pass up. However, I can’t help but suspect that somewhere out there I might have left a vi session open because maybe I mistyped. I might have accidentally typed ;q! instead of :q! or something.
I get stressed out every time I need to jump into a server and check something and the only editor is vi. If I can I install nano straight away.
Btw, :q! does nothing without pressing ESC first! Hehehe

Yeah, that’s part of the joke. I probably didn’t press ESC first. LOL
But you already had the Vi commands memorized. Did you forget them in the meantime?
No. I sloppily typed them. Did you see my other comment?
No
